I can list off many different brands that make some good ones. But it does help to know what you will be doing with the car.
Some good choices are:
PIC
Ksport
D2
AMR
Function and Form
Stance
Tein( I dont like these)
Toda
Skunk2
and there are somemore. I just cant think of them ATM.

PIC
Form and Function
Ksport
D2
all of those can be found for under 1000. I got my ksports for $560 shipped, and can still get them for $650 now.

Get Omni power.. and only for 870 if you pre-order now.
Way better shock results then D2.

Where is your proof? Omni has had more problems with their shit than d2. I've road in cars that have had both. All civics and all had ots rates. The d2s road much better.

ksport! I have both the Tein Basic in my SI and the ksport in the sir. By far I am more impressed with the ride of the ksport over the tein full coils. You can lower it pretty much to the ground and adjust your damper. It rides very smooth and is great for a DD. Super good on the wallet also
In the future I plan to get rid of my Tein for the kports for my si.

Omni has had 3 different full coil overs on the market for a long time. basic, street and track. ALL SUCK ASS.
AND BTW, those are not OMNI. Its Omi performance. Unless they changed their name to try and start over with out the shit.

i have had Omni powers and they suck ass. I have Apex'i N1's right now, and they are a nice ride but are geared for track use since they are a 12K,10k spring rate combo. for a street coilover, i would recommend Function forms Type 1's they are a great coilover for the money and for $630 shipped you cant beat the price.
